Eliot (who was awarded the Nobel prize in literature in 1948) were perhaps the more influential modernist English-language poets in the period during World War I.[3] But this narrative leaves out African American and women poets who were published and read widely in the first half of the 20th century. While Romanticism transitioned into Victorianism in post-reform England, it became energetic in America from the 1830s through to the Civil War. Edgar Allan Poe was a unique poet during this time, brooding over themes of the macabre and dark, connecting his poetry and aesthetic vision to his philosophical, psychological, moral, and cosmological theories.[16] Diverse authors in France, Sweden and Russia were heavily influenced by his works, and his poem "The Raven" swept across Europe and was translated into many languages. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6749.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6749.txt
